Forget Tupac and Biggie, they arent alive. Otherwise they would be topping the list.

Im not considering mainstream success or album sales, as those are superficial as hell, and in no way representative of skill.
(i.e lil waynes rap career)

Jay-Z has fallen off. Watch the Throne was massively overrated IMO and he comes out with a song every 3 years because he has more important shit to worry about.


In my opinion, the Realest in the game right now are

1) SHADY records WITH Slaughterhoues
(lets be honest, shady kills everything and now has one of the most talented and diverse groups signed to him, $600,000,000 Deal)

2) The Game
(real, been there, beefs w everyone and comes out on top and every album has gone platinum)

3) Curren$y
(LEFT YMCMB to prove a point, and is better for it, OUTRAGEOUS fan base could have made millions with his album quality mixtapes but loves the fans instead)

4) Wale/MMG
(unreal lyricism. not a hood nigguh but from DC nonetheless and knows a struggle, plus MMG is iight)

5) Big K.R.I.T
(southern drawl accompanied with lyricism?? unheard of in the rap game.)

6) Kendrick Lamar

7) Freddie Gibbs
(real talk, i dont need to explain myself, listen to the "miseducation of freddie gibbs" and educate yourselves)

8) EDIT: Tech n9ne
(completely forgot about him, underground king, all about free music)

Honorable mentions:
Nas (hasnt come out with an album in forever, but dope as shit)
Smoke DZA, A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q Young Roddy(major up and comer), Jeezy, J Cole.
Ludacris (when he takes things seriously).


*Kanye West is a GREAT PRODUCER first, and really not that great of a rapper tbh, hes also in the Jay-Z doesnt need to do shyt hes so rich category anymore.


Let me hear your feed back, just please dont you DARE say Wiz Khalifa, or 1017 Bricksquad..their wack as fuqq

I don't listen to any current rap / hip hop - most of it's crap today. I don't have much to say about this but the coachella performance with the holographic Tupac blew my mind.

What about Tech N9ne, man? Only rapper I know TO DATE that's more lyrically brilliant than Shady. Just listen to Everready or All 6's & 7's.

Jay's highly mediocre, there was 3-4 good tracks on WTT. Game honestly fell off when he did My Life with Lil Faaggy. Curren$y's just Wiz Khalifa but more lyrical. Rest I can agree with

People that say hip hop in dead is dumb.

They just listen to shitty music I agree with this list.


BUT add Lite (coolroy) and Blu somewhere in there.

I know for sure that I don't like the game all that much and he's your #2 I think. Definitely glad to see you didn't put any **** heads on here (Mac Miller / Lil' Wayne come to mind immediately) so I'll listen to a few.

You havent listened to R.E.D album i guess then
and Curren$y is nothing like wiz.

Wiz makes songs with maroon 5, and is a pop rapper
curren$y wouldnt get caught doing that, hes a NOLA nigga

Wizkalifa isn't up there ..... exept from currancy and game and shady ... the rest isn't my taste... kanye west sucks he is just a tool that jay z create .... jayz has some hot shit don't get me wrong but he ain't the best same for little wayne.... lil wayne just throws words together to make it sound good .... it was entertaining for acouple years but now its annoying ..... look at big L he is dead but he was a sick ass rapper ....and j cole keeps it mad real should probly be up there to

your right i threw him up there, hes def worth mentioning, thanks for that

No prob, man:) That's my main dude and I stick up for him, y'know:D

Actually, I oughta give a shout out to Busta, too. He has speed and decent lyricism, but he also has a way of experimenting with his flow, which is pretty admirable. Cause if you listen to some of his songs or features, he'll sound like he's a bit off the beat, yet he still pulls it off. Busta Rhymes can kill it is all I'm sayin':)

TODAY:
1. Eminem/Slaughterhouse
2. Jay-Z/Kanye, they aint what they used to be (Reasonable Doubt, Graduation), but they still better than mostly everyone else
3. J. Cole
4. Game/A$AP (haven't heard much of them but they're gonna come up big vuz they nice)
5. Nas if he drops a hot album (one of GOAT *Illmatic*)

i agree but the technology was pretty cool, i wonder what it looked like from the back and side, if it was only 2D or full round. and now that shit like that exists were only 1 step away from the hologram communication in star wars <3

Anyways, in my opinion, Hoodie Allen is greater if not equal to Mac Miller. Hoodie doesn't rap about drugs, beer, or ***.

I actually found out how the whole, Hologram thing happened. It was just the projector beaming onto the glass/reflection and putting it on stage. You can either make the person animated or something like that or, have a live person.
